Viewing and Using Flex SWFs in Flash

[spectrum302]

Is there anyway of using a compiled flex component in other words a SWF file created by flex and that loading it into a flash document.

Currently the flash doc is done in AS2, and I dont really want to change that right now, though I dont think It should make a difference.

the code I'm using to try and accomplish this is

loadMovie("ServicesPanel.swf", "servicesPanelClip");


Alternatively if I were to load the flash SWF instead through a flex app, would there be a way to 'swap out' a current symbol with a flex component. I imagone it would go something like

ImportedFlashClip.content."no idea what goes in here";

A SWF file created for Flash 8 or below cannot load a SWF file created for Flash 9/Flex 2.

Hi there, I have a similar problem. I've written a component in Flex and compiled it to SWF. Now I'm looking for a way how to load and set up the component to a Flash application.
If the security sandbox is the same, you can load Flex SWF into Flash SWF by using the Loader class, BUT:

ONLY if the loading code is in the 1st frame, NOT in the document class. If the code is in the document class, the compiler says:
Error: Error #2136: The SWF file file:///D|/Projects/Swf/Janko/SampleFlashApp/Bar.swf contains invalid data.
at _Bar_mx_managers_SystemManager/create()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/::initializeTopLevelWindow()
at mx.managers::SystemManager/::docFrameHandler()

Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this? Has anyone an experience with loading Flex SWF into Flash?

Thanks for an advice

Are you loading the SWF file in the constructor? This may seem weird, but try waiting a frame or two (or a short time-based interval, if you prefer), and then try to load the SWF. My guess is that the Flex SystemManager is trying to access the stage or the root too early.
